Quentin Watkins, Joshua Martin, Lamarcus Kelly and Timothy Frelix are all charged with unlawful possession of an explosive and shooting into an occupied dwelling, 16 WAPT News reported.

Frelix is also charged with being a felon in possession of a handgun.

The four men appeared in court in Jackson on Thursday. Bond was set at $125,000 for Watkins, Martin and Kelly. Bond for Frelix was set at $145,000, court officials said.

Jackson Police Department spokeswoman Officer Colendula Green said the men were arrested Wednesday after officers in the area of Cooper Road and Longwood Drive said they heard about 15 shots.

The officers drove toward the area where the shots came from, Green said. Witnesses at a convenience store on Rainey Road told the officers they saw someone fire shots from a white vehicle into a nearby house, she said.

Officers stopped a white Malibu with four people inside, Green said. After searching the vehicle, police found what they believed to be four Molotov cocktails, two semi-automatic rifles, four pistols and two magazine clips -- one with 15 rounds and the other with 10 rounds, Green said.

The officers confiscated the items along with a cellphone and two laptops, Green said.

Frances Robinson, who lives at the home on Rainey Road, said she believes the intended target was her son's friend. She said he and another man were fighting over a girl.

Jackson officials said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating.
